“A simple way to get rid of flies and cockroaches in an hour – a natural method for your home”
Preparing the solution: In a container or jar, mix the sugar, apple cider vinegar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adding the oil: Add a drop of essential oil. This will make the scent attractive to insects while remaining pleasant to humans.
Seal the container: If you are using cling film, cover the container with it and poke a few small holes with a toothpick so that flies and cockroaches can get into it.
Trap placement: Place the container in a place where insects are most likely to appear – in the kitchen, by the trash can, or in other trouble spots.
Activity time: Leave the trap for an hour. During this time, insects will enter, attracted by the smell, and will be unable to escape.
Serving and storage tips:
If you have a bigger insect problem, make several of these traps and place them in different places in the house.
Replace the solution every 2-3 days to maintain its effectiveness.
Store the ingredients (sugar, vinegar, essential oil) in a dry place, ready for the next use.
Variations:
Additional ingredient: If the problem is more serious, add a little dish soap to the mixture. This will make the insects sink into the solution more quickly.
Outdoor trap: You can make a larger container and place it on a patio or balcony to protect your home from outdoor insects.
Natural Repellents: If you don’t want to use traps, plant insect-repellent plants like mint, lavender, or basil near windows and doors.
